Meme NFTs: A Lucrative Convergence of Internet and Cryptocurrency Cultures

Meme NFT：互联网和加密货币文化的利润丰厚的融合

On a recent Monday, the digital realm witnessed an extraordinary transaction: a JPEG depicting a puppy adorned in a knitted beanie sold for a staggering $4.3 million. While such a sale may elicit amusement or disbelief, the subject of the image was no ordinary canine, but Achi, the iconic Shiba Inu immortalized in the ubiquitous "Dogwifhat" internet meme.

最近的一个周一，数字领域见证了一场非同寻常的交易：一幅描绘一只戴着针织无檐便帽的小狗的 JPEG 拍卖品以 430 万美元的惊人价格售出。虽然这样的销售可能会引起娱乐或难以置信，但图像的主题不是普通的狗，而是阿智，标志性的柴犬，在无处不在的“Dogwifhat”网络迷因中永垂不朽。

The Dogwifhat NFT not only shattered records as the most expensive meme NFT ever sold, but it also epitomized a growing trend: the convergence of internet culture and the cryptocurrency world. Over the years, the vibrant overlap of these two realms has given rise to a plethora of NFTs inspired by some of the most recognizable memes of all time.

Dogwifhat NFT 不仅打破了有史以来最昂贵 Meme NFT 的记录，而且还体现了一种日益增长的趋势：互联网文化与加密货币世界的融合。多年来，这两个领域的充满活力的重叠催生了大量受有史以来最知名的模因启发的 NFT。

A Retrospective of the Most Costly Meme-Inspired NFTs

最昂贵的 Meme 启发的 NFT 回顾

1. Dogwifhat: $4.3 Million

The astronomical success of the Dogwifhat NFT, which fetched 1,210.759 ETH (worth $4,311,234 at the time of purchase), can be attributed in large part to the popularity of the original meme, which emerged online in late 2019. However, the NFT's eye-watering price tag was also fueled by the meteoric rise of WIF, a Solana meme coin inspired by the meme that has experienced an explosive surge in value in recent months.

Dogwifhat：430 万美元 Dogwifhat NFT 取得了天文数字般的成功，售价为 1,210.759 ETH（购买时价值 4,311,234 美元），这在很大程度上可以归因于 2019 年底在网上出现的原始表情包的受欢迎程度。 WIF 的迅速崛起也推动了令人瞠目结舌的价格标签，WIF 是一种 Solana meme 代币，其灵感源自 meme，近几个月来经历了爆炸性的价值飙升。

Since its inception in December, WIF's market capitalization has skyrocketed, reaching a record $3 billion last week. This surge was further propelled by a group of WIF community members who raised nearly $700,000 to display Achi's visage on Sphere, a colossal LED screen-covered arena in Las Vegas.

自12月成立以来，WIF的市值一路飙升，上周达到创纪录的30亿美元。一群 WIF 社区成员进一步推动了这一热潮，他们筹集了近 70 万美元，在拉斯维加斯一个巨大的 LED 屏幕竞技场 Sphere 上展示阿奇的面容。

The NFT photo was auctioned by Achi's South Korean owners, who netted an impressive $4.1 million after fees. This sum far exceeded their initial expectations for the photo of their puppy, which they had casually taken in 2018, according to Path, the auction coordinator. The NFT was purchased by GCR, a prominent pseudonymous crypto trader, via an auction on the digital art platform Foundation.

这张 NFT 照片由 Achi 的韩国所有者拍卖，扣除费用后净赚 410 万美元。拍卖协调员 Path 表示，这笔金额远远超出了他们对 2018 年随意拍摄的小狗照片的最初预期。 NFT 是由著名的匿名加密货币交易商 GCR 通过数字艺术平台 Foundation 上的拍卖购买的。

2. Doge: $4.2 Million

Prior to last week's record-breaking sale, the title of most expensive meme-related NFT belonged to the progenitor of all dog-related memes: the original Doge.

Doge：420 万美元 在上周破纪录的拍卖之前，最昂贵的 meme 相关 NFT 的头衔属于所有与狗相关 meme 的鼻祖：最初的 Doge。

This sale made headlines during the height of the NFT boom on June 11, 2021, when an NFT of the original photo that inspired the Doge meme, taken by Japanese kindergarten teacher Atsuko Sato of her Shiba Inu Kabosu, sold for millions of dollars.

这次拍卖在 2021 年 6 月 11 日 NFT 热潮最鼎盛时期成为头条新闻，当时日本幼儿园老师佐藤敦子 (Atsuko Sato) 为她的柴犬 Kabosu 拍摄的启发 Doge meme 的原始照片的 NFT 售价高达数百万美元。

The NFT ultimately sold for a higher amount of ETH than the Dogwifhat NFT: 1,696.9 ETH. However, due to Ethereum's lower price at the time, that sum equated to approximately $4.234 million. The Doge meme not only became an integral part of internet culture, but it also played a pivotal role in the development of cryptocurrencies, inspiring Dogecoin, the first-ever meme coin.

NFT 最终以比 Dogwifhat NFT 更高的 ETH 价格出售：1,696.9 ETH。然而，由于当时以太坊的价格较低，这笔金额约为 423.4 万美元。狗狗模因不仅成为互联网文化不可或缺的一部分，而且在加密货币的发展中发挥了关键作用，启发了狗狗币——第一个模因硬币。

"Doge is perhaps one of the most important memes of internet culture," Santiago Santos, a member of the investment collective PleasrDAO that purchased the Doge NFT, told Decrypt at the time.

“Doge 或许是互联网文化中最重要的模因之一，”购买 Doge NFT 的投资集团 PleasrDAO 的成员圣地亚哥·桑托斯 (Santiago Santos) 当时告诉 Decrypt。

PleasrDAO subsequently divided the Doge NFT into billions of fractionalized tokens, a move that generated hundreds of millions of dollars in value and has since fostered an entire ecosystem of Doge-enthusiastic crypto users.

PleasrDAO 随后将 Doge NFT 划分为数十亿个碎片化代币，此举产生了数亿美元的价值，并从此培育了一个由 Doge 热情的加密用户组成的整个生态系统。

3. Pepe the Frog: $3.5 Million

On October 5, 2021, the original Pepe the Frog Genesis NFT, created by Matt Furie, the artist behind the internet-famous green amphibian that was once co-opted by the alt-right, sold for a whopping 1,000 ETH, valued at approximately $3.5 million at the time of sale.

佩佩青蛙：350 万美元 2021 年 10 月 5 日，原版佩佩青蛙 Genesis NFT 由马特·福里 (Matt Furie) 创作，他是曾被另类右翼推崇的网络著名绿色两栖动物背后的艺术家，售价高达 1,000 美元ETH，出售时价值约 350 万美元。

Pepe has garnered widespread recognition not only in general internet circles but also within crypto culture. As recently as last year, the meme inspired the creation of Pepecoin, an Ethereum meme coin that has enjoyed significant success.

佩佩不仅在一般互联网圈，而且在加密文化中获得了广泛认可。就在去年，这个模因激发了 Pepecoin 的创建，这是一种以太坊模因硬币，取得了巨大的成功。

The Pepe NFT represents the file of the first-ever comic panel drawn by Furie depicting the character, created in November 2006. It was acquired by Starry Night Capital, an NFT fund established by crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capital and pseudonymous investor Vincent Van Dough in 2021.

Pepe NFT 代表了 Furie 于 2006 年 11 月创作的第一张描绘该角色的漫画面板的文件。它被 Starry Night Capital 收购，Starry Night Capital 是由加密货币对冲基金 Three Arrows Capital 和化名投资者 Vincent Van Dough 建立的 NFT 基金2021年。

When Three Arrows collapsed in 2022, the liquidator responsible for the firm's bankruptcy proceedings seized NFTs in its possession and began selling them off to repay creditors. As part of this liquidation process, Sotheby's brokered a sale of the Pepe NFT to crypto executive Andrew Kang for an undisclosed sum just this week.

当三箭在 2022 年倒闭时，负责该公司破产程序的清算人没收了其拥有的 NFT，并开始出售它们以偿还债权人。作为清算过程的一部分，苏富比本周促成将 Pepe NFT 出售给加密货币高管 Andrew Kang，交易金额未公开。

4. Charlie Bit My Finger: $760,999

One of the most iconic videos from the early days of YouTube, "Charlie Bit My Finger," made its way onto the blockchain during the NFT craze of 2021. The parents of the titular, teething Charlie and his older brother, inspired by the success of other meme NFT sales, hoped to transform their viral moment into funds that could potentially cover both boys' college tuitions.

查理咬我的手指：760,999美元 YouTube 早期最具标志性的视频之一“查理咬我的手指”在 2021 年 NFT 热潮期间进入了区块链。兄弟受到其他 Meme NFT 销售成功的启发，希望将他们的病毒式传播转化为资金，有可能支付两个男孩的大学学费。

Their gamble proved successful: on May 22, 2021, an NFT of the video sold for $760,999 to Dubai-based collector 3FMusic. Initially, the family planned to remove the video from YouTube after the sale to enhance the NFT's significance. However, 3FMusic reportedly expressed indifference to the video's continued online presence, and it remains on YouTube to this day.

他们的赌博被证明是成功的：2021 年 5 月 22 日，该视频的 NFT 以 760,999 美元的价格卖给了迪拜收藏家 3FMusic。最初，该家族计划在出售后从 YouTube 上删除该视频，以增强 NFT 的重要性。然而，据报道 3FMusic 对该视频继续在线播放表示漠不关心，至今该视频仍保留在 YouTube 上。

5. Nyan Cat: $590,000

Nyan Cat, a pixelated animation of a cat with a Pop-Tart for a torso, first took the internet by storm in 2011. Ten years later, the image's creator, artist Chris Torres, decided to sell the animation as an NFT. The piece garnered far more interest than anticipated, effectively launching the concept of meme NFTs as an asset class.

Nyan Cat：590,000 美元 Nyan Cat 是一部躯干上有馅饼的猫的像素化动画，于 2011 年首次风靡互联网。十年后，该图像的创作者、艺术家 Chris Torres 决定将该动画作为NFT。这篇文章引起的兴趣远超预期，有效地推出了 meme NFT 作为资产类别的概念。

On February 19, 2021, just before NFTs became a mainstream phenomenon, Torres sold the Nyan Cat NFT for 300 ETH, then valued at approximately $590,000, to an anonymous crypto user.

2021 年 2 月 19 日，就在 NFT 成为主流现象之前，Torres 以 300 ETH（当时价值约 59 万美元）的价格将 Nyan Cat NFT 卖给了一位匿名加密货币用户。

In the ensuing months, numerous other creators of famous memes followed Torres' lead and began auctioning their own iconic images as NFTs, enabling them to finally profit meaningfully from and assert ownership over the pieces of internet history they had created.

在接下来的几个月里，许多其他著名表情包的创作者追随托雷斯的脚步，开始将自己的标志性图像作为 NFT 进行拍卖，使他们最终能够从他们所创造的互联网历史片段中获得有意义的利润并维护其所有权。

"It kind of became a trend, not just for me, but for many meme artists that created anything since then. It's always been kind of a struggle," Torres told Decrypt in 2021.

“这已经成为一种趋势，不仅对我而言，对许多从那时起创造出任何东西的模因艺术家来说也是如此。这一直是一场斗争，”托雷斯在 2021 年告诉 Decrypt。

6. Disaster Girl: $430,000

Zoe Roth, one of the first legendary meme creators to emulate Torres' path, was a toddler when she posed in front of a burning building with a subtle smirk that has since become synonymous with taking pleasure in chaos. The meme, known as Disaster Girl, became a cornerstone of internet humor in the 2000s.

灾难女孩：430,000 美元佐伊·罗斯 (Zoe Roth) 是最早模仿托雷斯道路的传奇模因创作者之一，当她还是个孩子的时候，她在一座燃烧的建筑前摆出姿势，脸上带着微妙的傻笑，从此成为享受混乱的代名词。这个被称为“灾难女孩”的模因成为 2000 年代互联网幽默的基石。

In mid-2021, Roth auctioned an NFT of the original photo from the meme on Foundation. On April 17, it sold for 180 ETH, then valued at approximately $430,000. The NFT was acquired by 3FMusic, the NFT collector who now owns multiple NFTs featured on this list.

2021 年中期，Roth 拍卖了 Foundation 上表情包原始照片的 NFT。 4 月 17 日，它以 180 ETH 的价格售出，当时价值约为 43 万美元。 NFT 被 NFT 收藏家 3FMusic 收购，该公司现在拥​​有该列表中的多个 NFT。

7. Overly Attached Girlfriend: $411,000

The spring of 2021 marked the zenith of meme NFT auctions; in fact, every piece on this list except the current champion (Dogwifhat) was sold in 2021, in the months following the groundbreaking sale of Nyan Cat.

过度依恋的女友：411,000 美元 2021 年春季标志着 meme NFT 拍卖的顶峰；事实上，除了当前冠军 (Dogwifhat) 之外，这份清单上的所有作品均于 2021 年售出，即《Nyan Cat》开创性销售后的几个月。

Just weeks after that NFT auction, Laina Morris, the content creator immortalized in a 2012 meme as 'Overly Attached Girlfriend,' ventured into blockchain technology herself, auctioning an NFT of the photo from the meme on Foundation.

就在 NFT 拍卖几周后，内容创作者莱娜·莫里斯 (Laina Morris) 在 2012 年的一个模因中被称为“过度依恋的女朋友”，她自己也涉足区块链技术，拍卖了基金会上模因照片的 NFT。

The sale was a resounding success, with Morris netting 200 ETH, valued at $411,000 at the time, for the digital token. The NFT was purchased by NFT collector 3FMusic.

这次销售取得了巨大成功，Morris 通过数字代币净赚了 200 ETH，当时价值 411,000 美元。该 NFT 由 NFT 收藏家 3FMusic 购买。
